Gyaku gire
"There is a Japanese term for such hostility: gyaku gire, literally 'reverse rage'.
The phrase refers to a situation in which someone who isn't in a position to be mad unfurls fury.
In other words, I was the one who should be irate, having had my papers lost, but instead the man in the office at fault was yelling at me".
